Graham,

Your best bet is to create an EPS graphic file and then import that into
OO.org. Bear in mind that if you do this, OO.org will import that EPS
file and create a bitmapped preview upon doing so. When you
view on a display or print the file, it will (by default) be the
bitmapped preview that you will see, not the higher quality vector based
EPS image.

If you print to a file using a PDF printer driver (not the
default PDF export function), you can then end up with a PDF file that
will have the full vector based image embedded.

If you export to a PNG, given that it is bitmapped and not vector based,
the quality of the image when viewed will be dependent upon the
resolution of the viewing medium. Thus you may see pixelated fonts,
curves, etc.

BTW, this issue has been covered extensively on the R lists, for both
OO.org and for MS Office.

If you are comfortable using LaTeX, the combination of R and SWeave is
the perfect way of generating high quality publications with formatted
tables and plots in a reproducible fashion. You will find a lot of
information on that subject in the r-help archives as well. This is what
I use on Linux when generating reports and presentations involving
statistical/analytic output. I use OO.org (now 3.0) for other tasks.
